We used gerber with both of our boys, but with a toddler with a gluten allergy we will probably stay away from most of the cereals for a while with the youngest. Besides all they really do is thicken the food anyways, there is not a ton of nutrients in them. The only one I might use with my youngest will probably be oatmeal, but that is only if it is plain oatmeal. Otherwise I will probably get regular oat meal and grind it up really fine for the baby and use that. Of course this time around we are looking into making a lot of our baby food anyways just because it really is healthier and you can make so many different combinations of foods so that baby can get used to different tastes.
